$20.00????? I'm guessing you were in a desperate situation, and had to fork over big bucks. That's why I ALWAYS have those and the other basic tools when I leave the driveway. I haven't had to use them on the road with the sport, but just in case.

I always keep a pair of those generic pliers, a snap off razor, screwdriver, vice grips, and duct tape in the car.  Saved my ass multiple times.

Pretty sure I could rebuild a trans on the side of the road with just those tools if necessary.

$40?

I'm thinking it cost you the price of a tire it was stuck in or maybe a windshield?  Looks like something picked up on the road...
